Think Mir has been completely dismissed for this fight, he fought the best and being in Greg Jackson's camp can only be good for him. This is a test for Cormier, if he walks through Mir then we know he is legit and I would love to see the Jones v Cormier fight
Not gonna deny it, I'd love to see it happen. Cormier's a beast, but he doesn't seem big enough to hold down Mir and control him like Lesnar. It's going to be an interesting fight, I'm looking to see how Cormier's ground game looks against Mir's
I 100% agree, it seems that the only people that think Cormier is just some can crusher are the ones that think the UFC is the only mma organization with talent. Barnett has been a force in mma for many years and is no easy task for any fighter in the world.
I like this fight both of these guys are great dudes. I know people often think Frank is a dick but he is actually really nice. I met him at a fan expo what a great guy. Frank is a realist and sometimes people hate him for it. I love that Daniel Cormier is finally in the UFC the dude is good.
i like cormier attitude respectful of mir and he is humble i think mir beats him but he is,still a good addition i cant believe how when talking about the h.w division ppl forget about overeem whencthat hammer comes down ppl will remember who that is
the last time someone said that they would win in the light heavy weight and then move up to heavy weight and dominate was brandon vera and how did that work out with him.
na man not the same at all.. carlos trains with greg jackson full time and gsp trains in canada with his head coach Firas Zahabi of tristar gym..greg trains with greg from time to time and has cornered him in most recent bouts he helps with game plans and stratergies stuff like that.. its more like what happened between rashad and jones same camp same coaches
Would be good if UFC get Barnett also and get as many fighters as possible and make sure to increase their events, So they have an event every week. Haveing UFC events every week would be awesome and having over 500 different fighters since they only have around 250 now.
Cormier said after beating Barnett that his friends were celebrating and said "YEAH WE DID IT!!" the Cormier responded by saying "If I'm not mistaken I was the one in the cage with one of the baddest men I have ever seen!" if Jones said that you will talk so much shit and call him selfish. Mousasi would get murdered by Jones he better move down to MW where the competition is weak until he gets KO'd by Silva
If he comes down to 205, he'll be a beast and suddenly Jon Jones looks like a REALLY good match up & main eventer. He's a class act as a man & advocate for MMA. Keep it up dude, love watching your fights (except the Mir one, that sucked balls).
Being an instigator tends to be frowned upon in general, but in this situation, Ariel, as a reporter, is asking the questions other reporters stay away from
I don't see how Mir can beat him. Fight will go where Cormier wants it to. I think Cormier is a better striker and obviously a better wrestler. Mir's only chance will be a sub off his back (triangle) and thats if Cormier wants to take him down. I like both fighters, but Cormier is a beast!
Why are you whining? Yeah he instigates but it's not like we don't wanna know if Cormier has slightly changed his mind on fighting Cain. I prefer that than a reporter who never asks tough or uncomfortable questions
A lot of guys he fought has been good, but like I said...I wanna see him fight a top five pound fighter in the UFC..and i don't know if i'd consider Frank Mir in the top five.
cormier is really cool......... He seemed a bit irritated with Mir in the interview with the both of them.... Who knows what happens behind the scenes..
Lol I really needed that laugh! Mir is a 10x better fighter, just look at both fighter's last wins....Cormier unimpressively beat an out of shape nobody and Mir submitted an MMA legend by literally ripping his arm off.
I'll agree with you that ranking is mostly a matter of personal opinion but I can't ignore the opinion of so many fighters and people in the MMA world (except sherdog and others like them). Numbers don't tell the whole truth either, just check out the UFC new ranking system. I've been a Frank Mir fan for many many years,that's why I didn't like the Cormier fight even though Frank asked for it.
Cormier and Velasquez are best friends and train together at the same camp. Just throwing that information out to you MMA fans who don't know jack SHIT.
You don't know shit son! Jones has been my favorite fighter since he beat Bonnar that was in 09. The biggest bandwagon fans of all time are Chael Sonnen fans cause they weren't any BEFORE he fought Silva
Why fight Frank Mir? I know he has some unfinished business but it makes more sense to drop down to 205 immediately & take out either Henderson or Gustaffson for number 1 contender & then fight Jones. Otherwise he will fight Mir & will probably have to wait for Jones to fight at least once more.
Just like Roy Nelson, Cormier looks more like a potential great light heavy. They both have the smaller frame but a little more fat going on. In Jon Jones case, he has the frame to put on weight to be a heavy weight. Look at Allisteroid Overoid.
The winner of Henderson/Machida will get the next title shot I think. Bro, with all the drama and bullshitting going on in the UFC, you can never know.
So if someone mugged your grandparents you're telling me that you won't be grateful towards the man that stopped the mugger and got your grandparents possessions back? You have issues and you are very bitter. This past July I went to the Expo in Vegas and Jones was scheduled to sign autographs n take pictures from 1 to 4. After his time was up he still had a freakin HUGE line of fans and he didn't leave until he gave EVERYONE an autograph. Jones is a good man n I'm glad to have his signature
Well excuse me for not blindly looking at ranking, Barnett is top 10 but seriously who has he beat to deserve a top 10 ranking. Is there even an official ranking system in MMA or is everybody still going by Sherdog's ranking (which is 100% opinion based). ANYWAY...Sorry but I'm not impressed with Cormier yet, if he beats Mir (who is a legit top fighter who has beaten other legit top fighters in my eyes) then I'll support him.
Why the hell won't he fight Cain?...Reem said he'd fight his own freaking brother if it came down to it in the grand prix, yet these guys are merely training partners
I rather see Cormier fighting Jone jones than him fighting Cain. It seems like Ariel just wants to see them fight because they belong to the same camp.
MMA is bad at bringing prospects up too fast, look at 135, the guys fighting for the title are like 24 and 27. Bones got tossed into the big dogs at 23, Rory got a big fight at 24. We need to bring guys up slower.
No! Don't fight Mir! The Mir curse has yet to fail and if he bests Mir, then goes on to fight Jones, he may just get brutally beat down by Jones, I want Cormier to face him at his best not with a fucking Mir curse over him. Give him some other HW.
i will
Because they're the best 2 HW's out right now...
The best HW in the world. Go get em Dan, go get em.
Think Mir has been completely dismissed for this fight, he fought the best and being in Greg Jackson's camp can only be good for him. This is a test for Cormier, if he walks through Mir then we know he is legit and I would love to see the Jones v Cormier fight
Cormier is such a nice guy and a great fighter. Would be awesome to see him compete in the UFC!
great interview
Not gonna deny it, I'd love to see it happen. Cormier's a beast, but he doesn't seem big enough to hold down Mir and control him like Lesnar. It's going to be an interesting fight, I'm looking to see how Cormier's ground game looks against Mir's
Oh I was talking about Cormier in my last comment not Mousasi. Mousasi can move to middleweight but I think he'd get beat by Lombard or Bisping.
Frank Mir will fuck this guy up like he did Kongo
Suga vs DC
I 100% agree, it seems that the only people that think Cormier is just some can crusher are the ones that think the UFC is the only mma organization with talent. Barnett has been a force in mma for many years and is no easy task for any fighter in the world.
I can't wait for that fight!!!!
cormier is the man, hes everything i want a champion to be.
I like this fight both of these guys are great dudes. I know people often think Frank is a dick but he is actually really nice. I met him at a fan expo what a great guy. Frank is a realist and sometimes people hate him for it. I love that Daniel Cormier is finally in the UFC the dude is good.
The Mir fight WILL happen, all comes down to the money Dana makes
Such a nice guy
DC is such a great ambassador of MMA
He's a class act
I wanna see this guy actually fight a top 5 heavyweight.
great guy, i hope he rocks the ufc
i like cormier attitude respectful of mir and he is humble i think mir beats him but he is,still a good addition i cant believe how when talking about the h.w division ppl forget about overeem whencthat hammer comes down ppl will remember who that is
the last time someone said that they would win in the light heavy weight and then move up to heavy weight and dominate was brandon vera and how did that work out with him.
Wow, Cormier is a class act.
na man not the same at all.. carlos trains with greg jackson full time and gsp trains in canada with his head coach Firas Zahabi of tristar gym..greg trains with greg from time to time and has cornered him in most recent bouts he helps with game plans and stratergies stuff like that.. its more like what happened between rashad and jones same camp same coaches
DC is such a likeable guy.
Would be good if UFC get Barnett also and get as many fighters as possible and make sure to increase their events, So they have an event every week.
Haveing UFC events every week would be awesome and having over 500 different fighters since they only have around 250 now.
You were right! (so was I) AND STILLL UNDEFEATED!!!!!
Cormier vs Mir will be a sick fight make it happen
Cormier said after beating Barnett that his friends were celebrating and said "YEAH WE DID IT!!" the Cormier responded by saying "If I'm not mistaken I was the one in the cage with one of the baddest men I have ever seen!" if Jones said that you will talk so much shit and call him selfish. Mousasi would get murdered by Jones he better move down to MW where the competition is weak until he gets KO'd by Silva
DC is such a nice guy
great guy
hey um he wasnt talking about Aerial he was replying to aguy who commented
If he comes down to 205, he'll be a beast and suddenly Jon Jones looks like a REALLY good match up & main eventer.
He's a class act as a man & advocate for MMA.
Keep it up dude, love watching your fights (except the Mir one, that sucked balls).
I think that Daniel Cormier posibly will defeat every single fighter in UFC and make a new winning streak record...
Being an instigator tends to be frowned upon in general, but in this situation, Ariel, as a reporter, is asking the questions other reporters stay away from
Bob:"Just double-leg him" lol
I don't see how Mir can beat him. Fight will go where Cormier wants it to. I think Cormier is a better striker and obviously a better wrestler. Mir's only chance will be a sub off his back (triangle) and thats if Cormier wants to take him down. I like both fighters, but Cormier is a beast!
the next heavyweight champ
wat do u mean???
Fighter vs. Fighter.
As long as you keep winning, you get a title shot.
You obviously still understood...
Why are you whining? Yeah he instigates but it's not like we don't wanna know if Cormier has slightly changed his mind on fighting Cain. I prefer that than a reporter who never asks tough or uncomfortable questions
A lot of guys he fought has been good, but like I said...I wanna see him fight a top five pound fighter in the UFC..and i don't know if i'd consider Frank Mir in the top five.
Anyone think Cormier looks short compared to most hweights? i wiki'd him and he's 5'11! which is not short
cormier is really cool......... He seemed a bit irritated with Mir in the interview with the both of them.... Who knows what happens behind the scenes..
Is Cormier just short or is Ariel tall?
i dont think he can match cains pace but he can beat jones if taken into his realm
I hope DC ends the Bones Reign
What's DC beef with bones jones ????
Lol I really needed that laugh! Mir is a 10x better fighter, just look at both fighter's last wins....Cormier unimpressively beat an out of shape nobody and Mir submitted an MMA legend by literally ripping his arm off.
Dam he seems like a nice guy
I'll agree with you that ranking is mostly a matter of personal opinion but I can't ignore the opinion of so many fighters and people in the MMA world (except sherdog and others like them).

Cormier and Velasquez are best friends and train together at the same camp. Just throwing that information out to you MMA fans who don't know jack SHIT.
drop the cormeir vs cain ariel.........
To be honest with you, I was expecting more domination of Daniel Cormier, but he won and that's the bottom line...
You don't know shit son! Jones has been my favorite fighter since he beat Bonnar that was in 09. The biggest bandwagon fans of all time are Chael Sonnen fans cause they weren't any BEFORE he fought Silva
Ariel was like shut the fuck up don't mention Zack! Change subject quick!!?! Now I want to know who this Zack guy is
Love d.c.
This guy is gonna beats that fuck out Jones.
''i was happy in strikeforce...i wouldve stayed here forever'' lol
Why fight Frank Mir? I know he has some unfinished business but it makes more sense to drop down to 205 immediately & take out either Henderson or Gustaffson for number 1 contender & then fight Jones. Otherwise he will fight Mir & will probably have to wait for Jones to fight at least once more.
There is no way Mir can beat Cormier, it's the worst match up ever for Mir. That's why a Mir vs Werdum would be a way better fight to watch.
The dude just said he wants to fight jon jones.... stop asking about cain ffs
Just like Roy Nelson, Cormier looks more like a potential great light heavy. They both have the smaller frame but a little more fat going on. In Jon Jones case, he has the frame to put on weight to be a heavy weight. Look at Allisteroid Overoid.
I hope that you're wrong, but, Big Foot Silva Defeated Alistair and Cormier Defeated Big Foot Silva, so, let's say that Cormier can beat Overeem...
The winner of Henderson/Machida will get the next title shot I think. Bro, with all the drama and bullshitting going on in the UFC, you can never know.
Hes popular because of how he fights....
I dont want to see the frank mir vs cormier fight that would be an easy one for cormier
Jon Jones will tear you Apart with his Shredding elbows. . .
So if someone mugged your grandparents you're telling me that you won't be grateful towards the man that stopped the mugger and got your grandparents possessions back? You have issues and you are very bitter. This past July I went to the Expo in Vegas and Jones was scheduled to sign autographs n take pictures from 1 to 4.

Why the hell won't he fight Cain?...Reem said he'd fight his own freaking brother if it came down to it in the grand prix, yet these guys are merely training partners
how the hell is cormier gonna get down to 205?? i know hes a small heavy weight but dam hes got a belly on him
But if Reem beats Cain, Cormier could stay at heavyweight and try to win the belt himself
Bigfoot is tall and has longer reach than DC, yet he KO'd him. I think DC would destroy Jones, even though I like both
I would like to see it happen but I can't see Cain beating Overeem. Also both Cain and Cormier don't want to fight each other.
"Jones put 2 women in the hospital" plz tell me where I could find and read an article or watch an interview that supports exactly what you just said.
Cormier is the guy to beat jones I can see it
cormier is gonna crush mir, and dominate the ufc... watch him do it lol
If I were Daniel, I'd throw a punch on Helwani after asking me the same stupid question about fighting Cain!
Cormier vs JDS !
Have you even seen Jones bleed or sweat in a fight?? All his opponents always looking like Freddy Kruger after...
I rather see Cormier fighting Jone jones than him fighting Cain. It seems like Ariel just wants to see them fight because they belong to the same camp.
Daniel is a good guy but I wouldn't want to be locked in a octagon with him
MMA is bad at bringing prospects up too fast, look at 135, the guys fighting for the title are like 24 and 27. Bones got tossed into the big dogs at 23, Rory got a big fight at 24. We need to bring guys up slower.
Gustafsson gets the winner of chael and jones that's already been decided! Everyone forgets about gustafsson
Cormier is going to win, come back after frank's lost and prove me wrong.
Nobody will beat Jon jones . He's one of the best three MMA fighter In the history with Anderson silva and GSP
Lol did Bob say "Just take him down, shoot him with a double leg"?
No! Don't fight Mir! The Mir curse has yet to fail and if he bests Mir, then goes on to fight Jones, he may just get brutally beat down by Jones, I want Cormier to face him at his best not with a fucking Mir curse over him. Give him some other HW.
Josh Barnett is no slouch
Daniel i know you want a easy fight if you're considering to fight Frank Mir next.
Jon Jones should go on the Overeem food cycle.
let gustafsson fight cormier and then the winner will fight the winner of machida and hendo to truly determine the n1 contender
true
Anyone who beats Frank gets beaten themself JDS destroyed Mir then Cain did the same to JDS
jones has longer reach than both bigfoot and barnett
mir can also take your arm home in the blink of an eye:P
Cormier vs cain will happen not right away but it will.
